Judges 10:8 CPDV

⁶  But the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, joining new sins to old, and they served idols, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria and Sidon, and of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines. And they abandoned the Lord, and they did not worship him.

⁷  And the Lord, becoming angry against them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and the sons of Ammon.

⁸  And they were afflicted and vehemently oppressed for eighteen years, all who were living beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorite, which is in Gilead,

⁹  to such a great extent that the sons of Ammon, crossing over the Jordan, laid waste to Judah and Benjamin and Ephraim. And Israel was exceedingly afflicted.

¹⁰  And crying out to the Lord, they said: 'We have sinned against you. For we have forsaken the Lord our God, and we have served the Baals.'
